If
you prepare your photos in labeled subject groupings, they will
be scanned and stored on the disc organized by subject folders.
It works well to separate groups of photos in plastic zip bags
or in envelopes. If your photos are not in a particular order
now, you may find it easier to organize the digital images after
scanning rather than before scanning. The choice is up to you. |
Multi-Media
Resolution Files
In addition to the full size resolution files (best for archival
& printing) you also receive a set of your images downsized
to a resolution best suited for multi-media uses such as email,
slideshows, screensavers, and general computer uses. This helps
to make your new digital images even more user friendly. |

Scanning FAQ |
Why
should I consider having you scan my photos instead doing it on
my own?
There
are consumer grade scanners for you to do your own scanning, but
you should consider the cost of equipment vs. quality output.
Also, don't underestimate the amount of time involved to do it
yourself. It is likely to be more cost effective to have the work
done professionally for the best quality and least frustration.
What image editing software do you use for post scan enhancements?
Adobe Photoshop CS4. Post scan editing includes cropping for clean
edges, color & exposure correction, red eye removal, and digital
correction of spots or scratches. The original, unedited scans
are also included in processing to preserve original image integrity
for true archival purposes.
How will you organize the digital files on the disc?
The image files on the disc will be organized in the
way you provide the originals. Image directories are customized
with titles of subject groupings. If your photos aren't organized
now, you may find it easier to organize them digitally after scanning
than physically before scanning. The choice is up to you.
I have some old photo albums with the photos glued on the pages.
Do I have to remove the photos from the page or will you do that?
It is best to leave photos attached with glue to pages
as they are to prevent potential damage in removing and to retain
the original layout. Instead, we will scan the photos directly
from the page without removing them.
Can
I view the images you put on CD / DVD on my TV?
In
order to view pictures on TV with a DVD, the images must be made
into a DVD Slideshow Video format which plays the same way a DVD
movie works. With this option, background music can be added and
you can navigate to pause on an image or go forward and back.
The cost for this option is $.10 per image without background
music or $.25 per image includes music - either you provide or
royalty free instrumental music will be used. (Note: Some
DVD player models are compatible with reading jpeg images on a
data CD - this is the most basic way to view images on a TV. There
is no extra cost to provide a CD with TV resolution jpeg images)
What is the difference between a CD and a DVD?
Both a CD and a DVD can be used for data storage with the only
difference being the storage size of the disc. A CD will hold
up to 650MB of data, while a DVD holds 4.37GB. In order to access
the images from a data DVD on a computer, you will need to have
a DVD-Rom drive in your computer.
Can I make prints from the images you give me on CD or DVD?
Yes you can, either from home or your preferred printing service.
How
many photos will fit on a CD or DVD?
As a
general rule, around 300 will fit on a CD and up to 2000 can fit
on a DVD.
Can
I give you a hard drive to transfer my scans to instead of a
CD or DVD?
Yes, you may provide an external hard drive, a USB thumb drive,
SD card, etc. There is no additional charge for the file transfer
if you provide a hard drive. Otherwise it is $3.00 for transfer
to CD or $5.00 for DVD.
Do I need to count the exact number of photos before
sending them to you?
No, there is no need to do so. Prepayment for scanning is not
required. The number of images and your invoice will be totalled
once all work is completed.
Do I get my photos back?
Yes, and in the same groupings you provided them in. |
